Formation of subsets:
If set x ={1, 2, 3} List all the subsets of set x.
{1}, {2}, {3}, {12}, {1,3}, {2,3}, {1,2,3}
List all the proper subsets of R where R = {-3<n<+1} where n is an integer.
Solution:
R = {-2, -1, 0}
Proper subsets: , {-2}, {-1}, {0}, {-2 -1}, {-2,0}, {-1, 0}
(i) Calculation of the number of subsets.=2n
(ii)Calculation of number of proper subsets using formula = 2n – 1
Example: Find the number of subsets in set Q where Q = {4, 2, 9}
Number of subsets = 2n where n = number of elements in a set.
Number of subsets of set Q = 2n = 23 = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8
EVALUATION ACTIVITY:

(a) If n(K) = 2, find number of subsets of K.

(b) If M = {d, e} find the number of proper subsets in set M.
(c) Given that set P=1,2,3,5,7,9 and set Q= 1,2,3,4,6,8 . .Find the number of

n(∑)=30

M A

18-x x 21-x

(b) How many pupils like both subjects?

Solution
18-x + x +21 – x = 30
18+21-x =30
39-x=30
39-39-x =30-39
-x= -9
-x = - 9
-1 - 1

n(∑)=40
3
 M S

20-y Y 17-y

b)How many pupils like both subjects?

Solution
8+20-x+ x +17- x = 40
28+17-x = 40
45-x = 40
45-45-x = 40-45
-x = -5

APPLICATION OF PERCENTAGES
1 Opio has 400 heads of cattle. 80% of them are cows and the rest are bulls.

Find the number of cows.

Solution

earns sh. 72000;

Rent

 M
Food 120˚ Fees

(a) How much does he spent on fees ?

Solution
M + 90 + 120 = 360˚
M + 210 = 360˚
M + 210 – 210 = 360˚ – 210˚
M = 150˚

(c) How much does he spend on sugar than on books

Solution
Sugar = 4x Books = 3x Difference
= 4 x 36 = 3 x 36 = 144 – 108

1. The mean age of 5 children is 12years, if a sixth child joins them, the mean age
becomes 11years, find the age of the 6th child.
Solution
Total age of 5 children = 5 x 12

h

10m
20m

Solution
Value of h
6+6=c
h + (5m) = (13m)
h + (5m x 5m) =13m + 13m
h + 25m = 169m
h + 25m – 25m = 169m -25m
h = 144m
h = 12m

WEEK THREE
LESSON ONE AND TWO
SPEED ,TIME AND DISTANCE.
AVERAGE SPEED
81
Average speed = total distance
Total time.

A man covered 50km in2hours and another 5okm in 3hours.

Find his average speed for the whole journey.

Total distance = 50km + 50km

= 100km
Total time = 2hours + 3hours
= 5hours

Average speed = 100km

5hrs
= 20km/hr

Calculate the average speed of a motorist who rode from X to YAT 60KM/hr for 3hr and
continued to Z at 40km/hr for another 3hrs.
Solution
Distance from x to y = 60km x 3hr
1Hr
= 180km

Distance from y to z at 40km/hr for 3hrs = 40km x 3hrs

hr
= 120km

Total distance from x to z = 180km + 120km

= 300km

Total time = 3hrs + 3hrs

= 6hrs

Average speed = 300km

6hrs
= 50km/hr
3.Nyangweso drove a distance of 40km at a speed of 20km/hr. Due to the bad road ,he
show down speed to 15km /hr to cover 45km . Find the average speed for the whole
journey.
Time taken at 20km/hr = 40km
20km/hr
= 2hrs
82
Time taken at 15km/hr = 45km
15km/hr
= 3hrs
Total distance covered = 40km +45km
= 85km

Total time taken = 2hrs + 3hrs

= 5hrs

Average speed = total distance

Total time
= 85km
5hrs
= 17km/hr

LESSON THREE
AVERAGE SPEED OF RETURN JOURNEYS
1.Lubwama drove at 55km/hr for 4 hours .if he returned following the same road at
11okm/hr, find his average speed for the whole journey.

Distance covered = 220km + 220km

= 440km

Total time taken = 4hrs + 2hrs

= 6hrs

Average speed = 440km

6hrs
= 73 2/6km/hr
= 73 1/3km/hr
A and B are two towns a part. Lunyolo drove from A to B at 40km/hr and then returned
to A though the same route at 60km/hr. calculate LAunyolo average speed for the whole
journey.
Total taken to cover 80km at 40km/hr = 80km
40km/hr
83
 = 2hrs

Time taken to cover at 60km/hr = 80km

60km/hr
=1 hrs

Total distance from A and B and back = 80km + 50km

= 160km
= 2hrs + 1 1/3hrs
=3 hrs.

Average speed = total distance

Total time
= 160km ÷ 3 hrs
= 160km ÷ 10hrs
3
= 160km x 3
10hrs
= 16km x 3
1hr
= 48km/hr

LESSON FOUR AND FIVE

AVERAGE SPEED INVOLVING STOPPAGES /RESTS.

Kato left town A driving at75km/hr . After 2hrs, his car got a puncture and he delayed
for 45minutes. He then continued at 60km/hr for 2hours and 15minutes to town B.
a)What distance had kato covered before his car got a puncture?
Distance =SxT
= 75km x 2hrs

84
 1 hr
= 75km x 2
= 150km
How far is town B from town A.
Distance coved after puncture =SxT
= 60km ÷2 hrs
1 Hr
= 60km x 9
4
= 15km x 9
= 135km

Total distance = 150km + 135km

= 285km

B )Calculate Kato’s average speed for the whole journey.

Solution
Total distance = 285km
= 2hrs + 45hrs + 2 ¼ hrs
60
= 2hrs + ¾ hrs + 2 ¼ hrs
2hrs + 2hrs + ¾ hrs + ¼ hrs
4hrs + 1hr
5hrs

Average speed = total distance

Total time
= 285km
5hrs
= 57km/hr
Town R and S are 120km a part . Okiror drove from R starting at 10:30am, he arrived
at S where he stayed for 1hr and then returned to R through the same road at a speed
of 60km/hr.
(a)At what time did okiror arrived at R from S.

Solution
Time taken from R to S = 120km
60km/hr

85
 =2 hours
Time he left S = 10 30am
+ 1 00
11: 30am

The time when he arrived at R = 11:30am

2:00
13:30 hr

1:30pm
A )calculate okiror average speed for the whole journey.

Solution
Time taken from R to S = 10:30am – 9:00am
Hrs Min
10 30
-9 00
1 30

= 1hrs 30 minutes
= 1 ½ hrs

Total time = 1 ½ hrs + 2hrs + 1hr

= 4 ½ hrs

Total distance = 12okm + 120km

= 240km

Average speed = total distance

total time
= 240km ÷ 4 ½ hrs
= 240km ÷
= 240km x 2
9
= 480km ÷ 9hrs =53 km/hr

c) calculate okiror’s average speed for the whole journey while travelling.
Total distance = 240km
Total time = 1 ½ hrs + 2hrs
86
 = 3 ½ hrs

Average speed = 240km ÷ 3 ½ hrs

= 240km ÷ hrs

= 240km X hrs
= 480km
7hrs
= 68 km/hr

CONTENT: Equations involving fractions

Example: Solve

1. (3x +1) = (x + 2) 2. 3x – 1 = = 7x + 1
4 2 2 6

4 (3x + 1) = 4(x + 2) 6 (3x -1) = 6 (7x +1)

4 2 2 6

3x + 1 = 2(x + 2) 3(3x – 1) = 7x + 1

3x + 1 = 2x + 4 9x – 3 = 7x + 1

3x + 1 – 1 = 2x + 4 – 1 9x = 7x + 4

3x = 2x + 3 9x – 7x = 7x – 7x + 4

3x – 2x = 2x – 2x + 3 2x = 4

Example:

1. Baker bought 2kg of suagr at shs. 3p and 1kg of salt at sh (p + 200). Find P if
Baker paid shs 3700= The cost of 2kg of sugar is shs (2 x 3p) = 6p. The cost of
1kg of salt is sh (p + 200)

105
 Total cost 6p + p + 200 = 3700=

7p + 200 = 3700

7p + 200 – 200 = 3700 – 200

7p = 3500

7p 3500
